Wedding planning can be stressful, but working with your vendors should not. Clearly communicate your ideas to your vendors for a stress-free relationship. Learn how to prioritize your vendors and master the art of what question to ask, cost, contract and more.

First Priority

Ideal Booking: 6 or more months

These are going to be your high priority vendors that can only handle one or a few weddings for a given weekend. Start hiring these vendors at least six months before the wedding.

Second Priority

Ideal Booking: 4 - 6 months

This is when things start getting more intense and details become more important. Most of these vendors are equipped to handle several events in a weekend. Start working with these vendors four to six months before the wedding date.

Fourth Priority

Ideal Booking: 1 - 2 months

These are the final steps of your wedding planning and don’t hold as high as a priority since they aren’t directly correlated to the wedding planning itself. But they are some of most important details you CANNOT forget about!
